Totally worth it

I know my blog seems to be skewed towards the NFL, but with the draft this weekend, sue me. Pretty soon it will be the quiet part of the offseason, with nothing to look forward to until training camp starts and I die a little bit inside.

That being said, I have to say I really like the Allen signing. Before the draft, every mock draft I looked at had Derrick Harvey (considered one the best pass rushers in the draft) falling to the 17th spot where the Vikes took him. Instead, the Vikings felt that he wouldn't be around, so they traded their 17th pick, plus two third rounders to get him. Meanwhile, Jacksonville (who had a lot less draft picks) traded the 20th pick, plus two third rounders AND a fourth rounder to move up to the 8th spot in the draft so they could take Harvey. Seems to me that the Vikes gave up less to get a proven pass rusher, if not the best in the league, rather than take an unknown.

Dallas Stars are a bunch of jerks. I don't like the Sharks, but I'm sure cheering for them. And Philly. Go Philly!

Dude, Philly? Are you freaking kidding me. I'm totally going to burn your eyebrows off! Am I allowed to make threats on this blogg? If so... continue talking about the NFL and I'll not only stop reading, i'll leave something in your bed... and its not going to be your brother - no matter how much you wish for it.

I love you.
